[man] [over radio]
In our top news story tonight,

local officials remain puzzled

by the rash of power failures
plaguing the city.

[humming]

According to a utility-company spokesman,
crews are working around the clock

and expect to have the problem
under control shortly.

We now switch you to
our helicopter reporter, Barley Berkins.

Take it away, Barley.

What the...

Uh-oh. No.

[roaring]

[worker] Oh, no. Oh, no. [screams]

Wha...What?

All right, fellow Ghostbusters.

Chow time. Come and get it.

-Wait! Slimer. Wait!
-Soup. Soup. Soup.

-Yummy.
-Slimer, down.

-Soup. Soup. Yummy.
-Yuck. Bad ghost.

[blows raspberry]

[muttering]

Here we go. Hot off the stove.

[nervously] What is it, Ray?

I call it my ferocious fondue casserole.

It's from an old family recipe.

Yeah, real old.

Hmm.

Oh, don't wait for me, guys.
Dig in. Down the old hatch.

How about down the old disposal?

Hey. Come on, Slimer. Quit playing around.

[Ray] I know my napkin's
down here somewhere, Slimer.

[slurping]

Slimer.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[swallows] Oh, yeah.

-Here you go, Ray.
-Thanks.

Boy, you guys really were hungry.

Hey, when we say chow, we mean now.

Then how about seconds?

Uh. Where are those power blackouts
when you need them?

[alarm ringing]

Roll them!

What have we got, Janine?

Direct orders from His Honor, the mayor.

Ghosts at the Stacy's Department Store.

Oh, Egon. [giggles]

Muah! Take care.

[mutters]

[groaning]

Slimer, cool the kissing.

[siren wailing]

[crowd chattering]

-Careful, Ray.
-Oh, no.

[Winston] Looks serious.

It is. We have a major
psychic disturbance inside.

Fantastic.

[powering up]

We're going in.

Ah. A hero's work is never done.

[crowd cheering]

[crowd] [chanting]
Ghostbusters. Ghostbusters. Ghostbusters.

Ghostbusters. Ghostbusters. Ghostbusters.

[barks]

-[barks]
-[whimpers]

Don't go away, folks.

We'll be right back before
your credit cards cool off.

-So far, so quiet.
-Too quiet.

-Huh?
-What?

[sighs] It's just as I suspected.

Ghosts have invaded
the mall's electrical wiring.

[all scream]

[barking]

-Huh?
-What?

[drills whirring]

[all screaming]

What's going on here?

Don't ask me.
I never was any good with tools.

[Egon] Peter, we're dealing
with haunted hardware.

All right. Then let's test their warranty.

[motors whirring]

Whoa-oh!

-Look out!
-[all scream]

[muttering]

[Ghostbusters gasping]

-Hey!
-Let go!

No! Somebody!

Ah! [struggling]

Back off, garbage gut.

[groaning]

♪ Ghostbusters ♪

Slimer. They got Slimer.

Let go of him, you dirty...

[muffled yells]

Ha! Now we're cooking.

Don't say that.

Egon!

[groaning]

[screaming]

Egon, the trap.

[ghost screaming]

Take that, hose nose.

[screaming]

Yee-haw! The last one's mine.

[screaming]

-Slimer.
-Oh, no.

[screaming]

[muttering]

Slimer, I'm sorry.

[blows raspberry]

[crash]

[crowd cheering]

Our blackout problem is well in hand.

[cheers]

Kind of makes you
feel warm all over, doesn't it?

[muttering angrily]

Attention. Resume shopping.

[commotion]

[Janine] So how'd it go, guys?

A textbook operation, Janine.

We got all the ghosts.
As soon as we dump them

into our trusty, high-voltage
laser-containment system...

We can finally eat.

[muttering]

Food now.

Hey, who turned off the lights?

Not me. The power's out.

[Ray] Oh, no.

The containment unit will...

Easy, Ray. Everything is under control.

I installed an emergency generator

for just such a situation.

It'll kick in within three seconds.
Two, one.

[generator powering on]

[all] All right. Hey.

Oh, Egon, you're such a genius.

Yes, I know.

Uh...

[growls]

-[alarm sounding]
-You guys said you caught all the ghosts.

Maybe this thing's bigger than we thought.

A lot bigger.

[Ray] Without power,
our Ecto Containment System

will go belly-up in 60 seconds.

What does that mean?

It means, if you have
any vacation time, take it now.

Right. When this thing blows,

we're gonna be up to our eyeballs

in angry spirits and demons.

[gulps] Uh-oh.

Ahem. Gentlemen,
don't take this the wrong way

but in 50 seconds, we die.

-Forty-eight.
-Aw. Not without dinner.

Forty-seven.

[screams]

-Forty-six.
-Well, Ray, any suggestions?

[stammers] We could
get the generator from the Ecto-1.

Right.

[Ray] And we need
a pedal-locomotion device.

-Right.
-Thirty-six seconds.

[Janine crying]

I got it.

Better hurry.

Come on, come on.
[struggling]

Pedal-locomotion device?

[squeaking]

[Ray] Easy.

[Egon] Five seconds.

Hurry.

Four.

-[Egon] Three.
-Hit it.

-[Ray] Janine, faster.
-Two. One.

-[Ray] Faster.
-Zero.

[Peter] Come on, baby. Come on.

It's working. We're getting power.
[laughs]

[all] We did it.

-Yeah. Right on.
-[indistinct cheering]

[Janine] We're still doing it.

So when can we stop?

I wouldn't quit just yet.

I'm still getting P.K.E surges
from Brooklyn.

Don't these ghosts ever learn?
Everybody, into the car.

Hey, hurry back.

[panting] I ought to charge
them by the mile.

[car engine starts]

[sirens wailing]

Psychic turbulence
coming from the power lines.

-Huh?
-The readings are getting stronger.

I wish I could say the same
for our wheels.

[Ray] That's because she's running

without a generator, Winston.
Remember?

[all] Oh...

[Winston] End of the line.
Our battery's history.

Gentlemen, whatever it is
we're after is in that power plant.

[muttering]

[slimer imitating car]

[gasps]

-Hey. The car's rolling.
-Hey.

Watch it.

[all] Whoa!

-[Ray] Slimer, stop, stop!
-[all screaming]

[muttering]

Slimer, quick, do something.

[muttering]

-[slimer screams]
-The brakes. Hit the brakes.

[gasps]

[panicked grunts]

[all screaming]

Just what I always wanted to be.
A hood ornament.

I got a plan. Hang on.

I wouldn't dream of doing anything else.

Pete, about that plan of yours...

[all screaming]

[tires screech]

[all exclaiming]

[crash]

Oh, phew!

[laughter]

I am the Grand Ghoul,
ethereal master of many.

-[Winston] Of many what?
-Ghosts.

He's the head honcho of all
this blackout business.

[laughing]

[all yell]

Battery's still dead.

Maybe we can get Sparky
to give us a jump-start.

[Egon] Raise the Ectoscope.

[motor whirring]

[grunts]

[screams]

[ghost] All right. Ha-ha!

All wrong!

[ghost laughs maniacally]

[screaming]

[laughs]

[roar]

All right, guys, blast it.

No, wait. We can't just blast her.

That car's like...like one of the family.

Then she must take after you, Ray.

I think she's about
to take after all of us. Run!

Now I'm glad we skipped dinner.

Yeah. With a little spaghetti sauce,
we could be meatballs.

Mommy, can I get off this ride?

Like now?

[screaming]

[laughter continues]

[strains]

-Hold on, buddy.
-No, you hold on.

[grunts]

Almost there, Peter.

[laughter]

[laughter ends]

OK, smart guy, we got you covered.
Come on out.

[ghost moaning]

-Me and my big mouth.
-I am Killerwatt.

My army feeds on your electricity.

It makes us so powerful
no human can stop us.

Not even you.

-Wanna bet?
-Uh, Peter, I wouldn't...

Uh-oh. Mikey likes it.

Incredible. He's absorbing
full-force proton beams.

The power plant's
electricity's shielding him.

Ah! And now you die.

[laughter]

[all yelling]

[all groan]

We'd better stop this guy fast.

[Peter] Let's do it.

He's packing enough megavolts
to light up St. Louis.

[laughs]

[laughs]

Huh?

[screams]

The way I figure it,
there's only one chance.

He's drawing his power
from the generators,

so we have to shut them down.

There's the main switch.

Stay away from that switch.

No!

[muttering]

[Ghostbusters wailing]

[muttering]

Ah-ha!

[grunting]

[exclaims]

Slimer.

[power shutting off]

[laughs]

-Oh oh!
-[powering down]

Turn the power on.

Over our dead bodies.

Dead bodies are my specialty.

[laughs]

[groaning]

All right, New York. More power to ya.

[cheering]

Thank you. Thank you. Oh, you're too kind.

Eee. Ugh!

Slimer, chill out. No kissing, man.

Gentlemen, you're true heroes.

Thanks to you, our emergency is over.

The power's on everywhere.

Power? Uh-oh.

Janine.

We forgot all about her.

You don't think she's still...

Nah, couldn't be.

"Keep pedaling, Janine.
Don't stop, Janine."

[panting] When I get my hands
on those guys...

[groans]
